[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At some point people will think before they vote for local officials.   People who want to save Wootton probably voted for the people trying to eliminate it.    Go figure[/quote]

No one is eliminating it.  They are offering to move it to a new building per the parents tantrums.  Other schools are just as bad or worse.  [/quote]You mean move it to a new building miles from the original, change the name, change the student body, and probably change the admin and teachers.  In other words, eliminate Wootton and open Crown.  Just admit that you want one less W school.[/quote]

Why would the and teachers change.  And, all schools are having student body changes.   You are creating drama where there is none.  I don’t care about w schools.  You care. [/quote]

Teachers wouldn't change (except normal attrition).  Who cares about the name???  That's a crazy criterion.  My understanding is that the Wootton student body would remain in tact and some students would be added.  So that's not particularly disruptive to the current student body.

The only people who I think have valid concerns are those who are currently walkers to Wootton because being bussed to a school a few miles away is legitimately very different from what they anticipated.  I don't think that outweighs the greater good (a huge % of the county will be undergoing some inconvenience) but I think it's a legitimate gripe.  Everything else is superficial and irrelevant.  The tradeoff for non walkers is that they get a bright and shiny new school but it's apparently a bigger (more students) school than they were at before.  [/quote]

I think you believe a lot more people care about “a bright and shiny” new school than is actually true.  Nobody cares about a school being new. Nobody goes around saying “only show me houses that are districted for a new school.” It’s simply not a thing anyone cares about-safe and functional-yes but that’s it. [/quote]

That's why a majority of schools in MCPS look like trailer parks.  I actually do kind of care.  It's amazing to me how tasteless the people are that have their kids go to these mega schools with limited activities.
